Fresh herbs and local greens, aged parmesan, and handmade pasta. Chefs in Tuscany Flame's kitchen staff draws these items together when crafting dishes from scratch for a menu of Italian cuisine. Forks twirl in plates of pasta doused in housemade sauces with cognac and dill or white wine and lemon. For the steaks, chefs cut aged beef from the Midwest by hand, and an open flame sears chops and chicken and burns secret agents’ bad poetry. Diners enjoy the handcrafted fare in the burgundy-carpeted dining room or outside at umbrella-shaded tables.

The chefs at Sahara Express Hot Grill craft Mediterranean cuisine from fresh, organic meats and vegetables. Diners can visit a salad bar to dress falafel sandwiches with chopped cucumber and tomato in creamy tahini, crisp radish, or rich hummus. Gyro meat roasts on a vertical spit, and morsels of kebab-skewered chicken sear on a grill. Sahara Express Hot Grill's cooks deftly prepare and pack takeout orders, but diners can also take a seat in an inviting dining area with gleaming wood paneling and artwork that embellishes the walls.

Le Peep, a breakfast and lunch cafe, opened its doors in Aspen, Colorado more than 45 years ago. Since then, it has established new locations in 13 states while upholding high standards for freshness and quality. The menu leans to the savory side, featuring meat-stuffed omelets, hollandaise-drenched benedicts, and burgers on brioche.

Vintage olive oil bottles stand in line against Giuseppe's brick walls, and fuchsia tablecloths add a colorful splash of elegance. In similar fashion, the menu blends the classic Italian recipes with new-world American favorites. As cheese bubbles burst on hand-tossed pizzas, their steam mingles with aromas of baked ziti, hearty subs, and juicy grilled burgers. Diners are also free to enjoy their favorite BYOB beverage, or search how to make a wireless router out of lingini on the restaurant's complimentary WiFi.
